Description
Opinion by JUDGE VAN CISE In this workmen's compensation case, the referee determined that claimant Padilla's previously sustained permanent partial industrial disability combined with a subsequent injury rendered him permanently totally disabled. He further determined that employer, St. Thomas More Hospital, Inc., in whose employ claimant sustained his subsequent injury, and its carrier, State Compensation Insurance Fund, were liable only for that portion of his industrial disability attributable to the subsequent injury. He ordered that the balance of the compensation due claimant for his permanent total disability is to be paid from the Subsequent Injury Fund. The Subsequent Injury Fund petitioned the Commission for review of the referee's order. Relying on a prior Commission decision on substantially the same facts, later affirmed in City & County of Denver v. Industrial Commission (Colo. App. No. 82CA0645, announced February 10, 1983) (not selected for official publication) (the Hatch case) the Commission reversed the referee's decision insofar as he found and assigned liability to the Subsequent Injury Fund. The Commission instead ordered that liability for the entire amount was attributable to employer and its carrier.
